Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand hard and said sternly in an unquestionable tone: "As the magistrate of Gutian County, I was attacked by bandits in Yuping Town. How could I sit ignorant of it?! Those who are afraid of death stay, and follow me if you are not afraid of death! Go and fight the bandits!..."

"Go to fight the bandits!" The soldiers of the tuan trained the village roared in unison. No one was willing to stay. Since Guo Zhiyuan helped them establish their faith, the army has become cohesive. Although the training has not been long, it has already had a strong momentum!

Guo Zhiyuan led the Tuanlian village soldiers to march straight to Yuping Town. From a distance, he saw thick smoke rolling in Yuping Town. Guo Zhiyuan became more and more anxious. Because of the limited horses, only Guo Zhiyuan, Chu Wan'er, Fa Zheng, Zhang Cheng and others rode their horses. The village soldiers could only walk. Fortunately, most of the village soldiers were hunters in the mountains and had strong feet. They almost ran all the way without panting, so they could barely keep up!

"Zhang Cheng, Fa Zheng, you follow me first, Chuxiong, you lead the village soldiers to follow him!" Guo Zhiyuan shouted, then rushed towards Yuping Town first. Zhang Cheng and Fa Zheng were worried about his safety and hurriedly followed quickly. Chu Wan'er wanted to chase him, but when he thought of Guo Zhiyuan's order, she could only stay unwillingly for the village soldiers to follow him, bit her teeth and said to herself: "Big pig's hoof, throw me away when it comes to critical moments. Don't have any trouble!"

Guo Zhiyuan rushed into Yuping Town with his horse. The scene in front of him made him look furious. The entire Yuping Town had become ruins, with ruins everywhere and devastated. Only the thick smoke rising from all over the place silently accusing the atrocities that just happened here! The streets were covered with corpses of the people, many of them were old, weak, women and children, and the entire street was stained with their blood!

In the middle of the street, there was a corpse hanging high on a wooden stand. It was the inner-grand here that Guo Zhiyuan had seen before - Sun Liren! Sun Liren's pale head was wide open and his eyes were wide open. He died with blood on his body. It was obvious that Sun Liren had been tortured by these innocent bandits before his death!

On the wall behind Sun Liren's body, a line of big words were written in a crooked manner: "Dog official Guo Zhiyuan, this is the end of you to suppress the bandits! I'm waiting for you to suppress it! - Jishan Leopard"

"These damn beasts!" Guo Zhiyuan looked at the terrible scene and gritted his teeth. After standing on the horse for a long time, he jumped off the horse, waved his hand and let Fa Zheng behind him put down Sun Liren's body, helped him close his eyes with his eyes closed, and said sadly: "Old Sun, I am late, I will definitely avenge you and let these despicable bandits pay their blood debts! Rest in peace!..."

At this time, Chu Wan'er also arrived with the Tuanjiao Township soldiers. When she saw this terrible scene, she was filled with anger. Her fists were clenching, and she asked Guo Zhiyuan for battle, "Sir, we will definitely kill these bandits who should be killed and avenge the villagers of Yuping Town!"

Even though he was angry, the funeral still had to be dealt with. Guo Zhiyuan arranged for the village soldiers to start to restrain the bodies of the people in Yuping Town who were killed, and sent a stud to search everywhere to see if there were survivors. They really found the survivors. After a while, the stud to the village soldiers sent came back with four or five surviving Yuping Town people. The surviving people were all middle-aged men, covered in blood and holding weapons. It was obvious that they had escaped the massacre of the bandits after a bloody battle.

Seeing Guo Zhiyuan, the surviving young men's eyes turned red, and pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and scolded: "It was you, the dog official, who harmed us! He had pretended to swear to destroy the bandits before, but it caused our entire town to be slaughtered. Do you have the nerve to come?!" One of the impulsive young men waved the long sword in their hand and rushed towards Guo Zhiyuan, shouting angrily: "Dog official, come with your life!"

It is natural that so many people guarding him would not hurt Guo Zhiyuan. Fa Zheng, a steed forward, pushed the impulsive young man down. The villagers quickly controlled the other surviving people and seized their weapons.

"Let them go!" Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said sadly: "I am indeed ashamed of the people of Yuping Town. I vowed to them to wipe out the bandits and let them live and work in peace, but failed. Instead, it caused their lives to be miserable. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I have harmed them..."

Speaking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head, pointed to his neck, and shouted to the surviving people of Yuping Town: "If killing me can make the people of Yuping Town live and can give the bandits who committed heinous crimes the head, then you can come! Use my head to pay tribute to the spirit of the dead villagers in Yuping Town!..."

The surviving people also calmed down from their anger and looked at Guo Zhiyuan steadily. After all, they had no courage to raise their swords at him again. They all squatted on the ground and hugged their heads and cried loudly. However, Guo Zhiyuan continued to yell at them: "Crying can make your dead relatives live?! Can crying kill those bandits who killed your relatives?! If you are still men, stand up for me! Join my army training, kill the bandits to avenge your relatives!..."

"You say I am hypocritical or anything, today I will swear in front of the spirit of the Heaven who died in Yuping Town, and I must make these bandits who have lost their conscience pay their blood debts! I will definitely cut off the heads of these bandits to pay their spirit of the Heaven! If I don't avenge this, I will not be a human being!..."

The surviving people of Yuping Town slowly stopped crying, wiped their tears and stood up, looked at Guo Zhiyuan firmly, and said loudly: "Sir, you are right. We are willing to join the regiment training army and avenge the dead villagers!"

After dealing with the funeral of the people who died in Yuping Town, Guo Zhiyuan brought the Tuanlian Township soldiers back to the county town and immediately summoned Xu Guangqi and the others to discuss how to avenge the people of Yuping Town. Although everyone was angry at the atrocities of the bandits, they were not very optimistic about the bandit suppression.

Xu Guangqi said with a serious expression: "It is indeed abominable that these bandits do such acts of anger between humans and gods. However, they dare to provoke the adults so arrogantly and openly, and they must rely on them. Moreover, there are many bandits. Our regiment training army has just been formed and has not yet formed combat power. The number of people is far from that of the bandits. I am afraid that they will be outnumbered. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run..."
